Investment in the Network and investment in growth were the key themes of an AA Auto Centre conference held in Queenstown this week.

“Even with the disruptions of Covid-19, our AA Auto Centre Network is continuing to go from strength-to-strength and this was evident at our very positive, future-focused annual conference,” AA Motoring Services General Manager Jonathan Sergel says.

“In a couple of weeks we’ll be opening our 39^th AA Auto Centre in Wanaka - the first in the Lakes District - and a few months after that we should be set to open our 40^th.

“At the rate we’re going, and with the strong team and brand we have, we hope to aim to have 50 nationwide in a few years.”

AA Motoring is also focused on assisting its existing AA Auto Centre franchises to grow.

“We’re continuing to invest in our existing Network by providing them with greater support, new procurement partners and making plans to enhance our product and serving offerings, and develop new ones,” Jonathan says.

“It was fantastic to receive positive feedback from our Network this week as we shared our ideas for the future with them, and also got their ideas and input as we work together to deliver greater profitability for the Network.

“If you are interested in having this kind of support for your auto business and being on the growth journey with us, you can find out more about becoming an AA Auto Centre at aa.co.nz/becoming-an-aa-auto-centre.”
